]]>DJ/producer Kristian Nairn, most recognized for his portrayal of Hodor on the HBO series Game of Thrones, has been featured on Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone has released an article containing the top DJ’s/Actors who are “rocking the party,” and Nairn has been named to the list alongside Austin “Chumlee” Russell, RJ Mitte, and Nick Hogan.

How’s it going? Nairn, who grew up in Northern Ireland, was a fixture on the Belfast DJ scene years before he started acting. “I’m shooting emotional laser beams out into the crowd,” he’s said of his DJ sets. Recently, Nairn embarked on the Rave of Thrones Tour, which promised “the deepest house from all seven kingdoms” and asked attendees to show up in GoT-themed costumes.

Nairn will be bringing his Rave of Thrones tour to New York City on August 13th at Irving Plaza. This is definitely a show that you will not want to miss. Purchase your tickets here.

Nairn also just released his debut single, “Up/Beacon (featuring Leanne Robinson),” which is currently available for digital purchase and streaming worldwide. Nairn’s debut single “Up/Beacon” is available now on iTunes, as well as stream it on Spotify, Beatport and Bandcamp!

Nairn has released his debut single entitled “Up/ Beacon (featuring Leanne Robinson).” The lead single “Up” has an upbeat tempo with a feel-good vibe that offers beautiful synths, a piano melody combined with the dreamy vocals of Leanne Robinson. The B-side, “Beacon,” is a progressive-house track with a unique blend of heavy synths and electro elements; making the song a perfect addition for an after-hours DJ set.

“Up / Beacon (feat. Leanne Robinson)” is currently available for digital purchase and streaming worldwide. Nairn’s debut single “Up/Beacon” is available now on iTunes, as well as stream it on Spotify, Beatport and Bandcamp.

]]>Although Kristian Nairn is known as the charming Hodor in the HBO series Game of Thrones, he is also an influential member of the EDM community. Wrapping up his ‘Rave of Thrones‘ tour, and following the success of “Up (Club Mix) featuring Leanne Robinson“, Kristian Nairn‘s latest single, “Beacon“, is what online blog ‘Your EDM‘ calls “fire”! Check out what else they’re saying:

So when Kristian Nairn dropped a new track a couple days ago, I was actually pretty excited to check it out. Turns out, it’s a super fire future house tune! This is definitely one of the better tracks I’ve heard recently, taking its time to build and work out a unique rhythm, rather than riding on the examples of others.

Don’t forget that “Up / Beacon (feat. Leanne Robinson)” is currently available for digital purchase and streaming worldwide. Nairn’s debut single “Up/Beacon” is available on iTunes, Spotify, BeatportandBandcamp!

]]>Krisitan Nairn has been making waves in the EDM scene with this debut single, ‘Up/Beacon’ on Radikal Records. Nairn, most recognized for his portrayal of Hodor on the popular TV series Game of Thrones, has been a DJ/producer for over a decade. He previously embarked on the Rave of Thrones tour last year. Nairn has just released his ‘Up/Beacon,’ and the lead single “Up (featuring Leanne Robinson)” has been featured on EDM.com.

Here is what EDM.com had to say about Nairn’s lead single from ‘Up/Beacon.’

His new track, appropriately titled “Up,” has a retro feel, cashing in on the Eurodance sound of the 90’s. With a relentless House beat, futuristic bass sounds, offbeat piano stabs and soulful diva vocals provided by Leanne Robinson, it sets itself apart from a lot of the modern sounding EDM, but isn’t far off from a lot of Deep House and Future Bass. Combining emotion and power, it’s enough to get a club moving but serves headphone listening equally well.

“Up / Beacon (feat. Leanne Robinson)” is currently available for digital purchase and streaming worldwide. Nairn’s debut single “Up/Beacon” is available now on iTunes, as well as stream it on Spotify, Beatport and Bandcamp.

]]>From the shores of Ibiza, give a warm welcome to DJ Jellyfish! His debut summer song, “Boom Boom Jellyfish” is an irresistible groovy dance anthem set for release on Radikal Records, and introduces the world to the dance phenomenon, “The Jellyfish Dance.”

DJ Jellyfish caught the attention of Radikal Records when the dance video for “Boom Boom Jellyfish” surfaced on YouTube. The simplistic, yet classic video gives off its own unique flair, going back to the basics of true dance music. The video demonstrates “The Jellyfish Dance,” a fun and simple dance that is reminiscent of past summer dance crazes such as “Macarena”, “Cha Cha Slide” and “Gangman Style”. As DJ Jellyfish puts it: “When you dance, it’s just one world! Fat or skinny, round or tall, everyone loves to shake their boom-boom.” Radikal Records is very eager to see what’s in store for DJ Jellyfish and his new summer jam!

]]>Before Kristian Nairn became the lovable Hodor on HBO’s Game of Thrones, he was (and still is) a powerhouse in EDM. After the debut of “Up (Club Mix) Featuring Leanne Robinson“, Nairn released another deep-house number titled “Beacon“. While both tracks have generated a large amount of success, “Beacon” has been featured on UNILAD! Look at what they have to say:

He’s followed the début up with “Beacon”, an EDM inspired track that would slot in perfectly on the Ibiza club scene. He’ll be reuniting with his Game of Thrones mates soon for next season’s shooting (assuming he doesn’t get killed off that is) but it’s likely we can expect more tracks from Kristian and maybe even an album in the near future.

Don’t forget that “Up / Beacon (feat. Leanne Robinson)” is currently available for digital purchase and streaming worldwide. Nairn’s debut single “Up/Beacon” is available now on iTunes, and streaming onSpotify, Beatport and Bandcamp.

]]>Each summer brings about a new dance craze that sweeps the nation. “Crank That,” “Gangman Style,” and “The Cupid Shuffle” not only took the dance scene by storm, but all became dance phenomena around the world. DJ Jellyfish’s “Boom Boom Jellyfish” will soon be added to the list of ultimate dance hits.

This hot new summer track features a fun funk beat with a hint of disco groove, which is all accompanied by smooth playful vocals. “Boom Boom Jellyfish” is a fun new summer dance track that has a playful funk beat that makes you want to get up and dance. “When you dance, it’s just one world!
